Last Saturday night about 11 o ’ clock the dwelling of a Mr. Sterns, not far from the residence of Martin Kip, at Stockport, was destroyed by fire. It is thought it was caused by a lamp exploding. Jack Ryan, the lineman in the employ of the American Telegraph Company, who was injured near Hudson a short time ago by falling from a pole, is still at the Waldron House, unable to be moved to his home in Troy. At an early hour Tuesday morning Metzer Brothers ’ boarding stables at Kingston were completely gutted by fire. Seventeen horses were burned to death, besides twenty sleighs, a large quantity of harness, hay and feed. The loss will exceed $10,000. The new iron stack for Hudson Bros, mill at Hudson was erected on Saturday last. While the big stack, which is fifty feet tall, was being hoisted into position a large pole broke and one of the men at work on the job fell about twenty feet. He escaped injury. The heavy rain Monday right loosened the clay in the cut at Rossmans on the Kinderhook and Hudson Railway and it slid down on the track from both sides until the roadbed was covered to a depth of nearly two feet, causing the first train out in the morning a delay of over an hour. Between 11 and 12 o ’ clock Saturday night an unknown man, probably a tramp, while prowling about the river front, at Hudson, fell into the Boston and Albany railroad slip. His cries for assistance were heard by two men, who assisted him out of the water. After being rescued he disappeared. Twenty of the best musicians in the eitj' of Hudson are now 'connected with the Hudson Band since it was reorganized. All the poor material has been weeded out, we are told, and a first-class brand-new band will soon be a realization. The organization has for an instructor and leader the veteran bandmaster, Edward Lee. The steamer Catskill is expected to run on the Hudson and New York route about April 15th, taking the place of the Red.- field, which will be retired and held in reserve as a spare boat until the berry season opens, when she will be pressed into service again along with the Kaater- skill, when all four of the steamers of the line will he run during the busy summer season. John Y. Kiere, whose sentence was commuted by Governor Flower, returned, from Dannemora Tuesday evening. There was a large crowd at the station to greet him. He was accompanied by his daugh ter, a sister and a niece, who met him at Albany, and went direct to the home of his boyhood days. He was dressed in a black suit of clothes, and wore a light overcoat and silk hat. We understand he will engage in the drug business, but not in this city. — [Hudson Paper. Columbia County. CANAAN FOUR CORNERS- Mrs. Carrie Williams spent a few days last week with friends in Hudson. • The Misses Clara Palmer . and Flora Hopkins returned to Northfield, Mass., on Monday.

Master Avery Brown while playing on the turn-table at the New Lebanon station, was severely hurt on one of his limbs, no hones were broken.hut the flesh was bruised and lacerated.

Mrs. Wilcox has returned from a visit at Green River. Mrs. Morey, Mrs. Wm. Palmer and daughter of Pittsfield, Mass., George Bradly, of Pittsfield, and Freeman Good- enough were visiting in town last week. The Concert held in the Methodist church at this place on Friday evening last, under the direction of Mrs. R. W. Morey of Troy, assisted by J. T. Rider and E. N- Ogden of Chatham, was an un- equaled success. The large congregation that greeted the performers enjoyed a musical treat, the like of which is seldom heard outside of a city or large town. Such artists as F. H. Kenworthy, W. C. Beebe of Chatham, J. R. Billingham of Hudson and Miss Lena Hulbert of East Chatham also contributed. That the large audience was appreciative was clearly shown by the faet that each and all of the performers were enthusiastically encored. The hearty thanks of the ladles of the church are extended to all those who so kindly gave their time and talent, including Misses Rachel and Lena Sayer of East Chatham and Miss .M. R. Bost- wick of Troy. Especially . do they wish to express their appreciation of the kind ness of J. T. Rider, who furnished the piano (a Sterling Upright) and the pro grams not only, but sang, and to E. N. Ogden for his services as accompanist. Obituary — Clark Pierce.

Has lived in this town nearly forty-five years, and has been a resident of the village twenty- two years. He was married to Miss Lorinda Latimer thirty-two years ago. He held a number of offices of public trust and discharged the duties with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the public. Mr. Pierce was a staunch Republican and supported the party both by his vote and influence. He was a valued citizen, a genial neighbor and friend, a most loving and faithful hus band and father. He is survived by a widow, one. son, a sister and three brothers. The funeral was held this (Wednesday) morning at 10:30 from the M. E. church. Rev. W. H. Flouton officiated.

John Brann has commenced to dig the cellar for his residence opposite, the post office. Our district school is closed during this week on account of the bad roads, which are almost impassible.

A divine in dur southern neighborhood, while on his mission to visit the lick, last week* got caught in ^.barbed-wire fence, and was with difficulty rescued by help ing hands that were near to assist. As it was, he came out with torn garments and was compelled to return home for repairs. Barb-wire fences are good for those who like them, but once caught in one, their value is not estimated very highly. Ed LaFuley, who is well known in this vicinity, and who resides/ at Elizabeth, N. J., has been for the past winter laid up with the grippe. He expects to be able to visit friends in this place in May. Ed was formerly a resident of this - place, and enlisted in the 11th New York Battery, with a number of other young men of this place, serving his country nearly four years, and was in all the bat tles of the Army of the Potomac, exeept Antietam. Quite a serious accident occurred near the station last Friday morning. A team belonging to W. E. Masten broke loose while his hired man was about putting on a load of salt, and started for home. They came in contact with ; a horse and wagon driven by Hiram Barringer, who was leaving the station, throwing him out and smashing his wagon into kindling wood. Mr. Barringer is not seriously hurt, but he had a narrow escape. Mr. Masten, who was on the road to the station, caught his team, which was not injured. It seems the team was tied to a ring at the side of the station which pulled out. BRAINARD. Charles Samburg and John Fosby have each been investing in a horse.

Huested is rapidly improv ing from his recent illness, and will be able to attend to business in a few days. The greatest drawback now is his left eye, which is very much inflamed and weak. As the attendance at the last meeting on Thursday afternoon was rather small, it was decided to defer the election of officers until this week. Hence it is necessary that all the members who can possibly do so be present at this meeting. The annual conference of the Troy district, will convene at Saratoga Springs on Wednesday, April 17. As far as we are concerned here inBrainard, it is hoped that there will be no change, and that Rev. F. G. Rainey may be with us for another year. Palm Sunday was appropriately ob served in the M. E. church. Rev. Rainey delivered a powerful sermon, which seemed specially fitted for the time and place. There was a large congregation in attendance, notwithstanding the rather unfavorable condition of the weather. Easter Sunday will be duly observed in the M. E. church. Sermon in the morning by the pastor. Subject, “ The Resurrec tion, ” after which the sacrament will be administered. Service of song and preaching by Rev. Rainey in the evening.

Subject, “ Some of the Characteristics of Success; ” As there have been no. lectures here during the past winter, this one, which- promises to be very good, will be all the more appre ciated.

Doors open at 7.00 o ’ clock. Lecture to com mence promptly at 7.45.

His office will be in a part of S.. J. Lennon ’ s building, adjoining the postoffice. His first visit to the place will be Saturday next, April 13th. The weather for the past week has been very bad and disagreeable. It has rained j ust enough to keep the roads in a bad condition and the walks muddy, making more woi k than usual for housewives to keep the floor clean, and it has been any thing but agreeable to movers who wanted to clean house. But a good hard rain, with warm sunshine to follow, is what is wanted to settle the ground, and let the farmers get to tilling the soil. The spring is very late as it is now.
